0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

BPW International Projects is a non-profit platform dedicated to showcasing and registering projects from BPW International clubs, federations, members, standing committees, and task forces worldwide. The platform aims to increase visibility, foster cooperation, and provide a base for sponsorship opportunities within the BPW community. The website is built on the Jimdo CMS platform and integrates third-party services such as Matomo analytics, POWr widgets, Google Maps, and YouTube embeds, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized with a clear navigation structure and professional design. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, demonstrating compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, no advanced security headers or incident response policies are evident, and WHOIS data is unavailable, which limits domain trust verification. The absence of phone numbers and physical addresses reduces direct contact options but professional contact emails are provided. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for BPW International's project platform, with moderate technical sophistication and good privacy compliance. The main risk lies in the lack of WHOIS transparency and limited security policy disclosures, which should be addressed to enhance trust and security posture.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

BPW International Projects operates in the non-profit sector, targeting women’s organizations and their projects globally. Its niche market position focuses on project visibility and networking within the BPW community. The business model revolves around facilitating project registrations and enabling sponsorships, which may generate indirect revenue streams through partnerships. The platform leverages partnerships with form providers (JotForm) and analytics services (Matomo). Growth indicators include active project postings and calls for registrations from various BPW organizational levels. The ecosystem is tightly integrated with BPW International’s main site and affiliated clubs, with no evident commercial subsidiaries.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, limiting transparency and preparedness. Third-party scripts from POWr and Google services are used, which require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be improved with enhanced headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and widgets to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve WHOIS data transparency or use a registrar that provides full WHOIS information to enhance domain trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Jimdo Creator CMS platform, utilizing jQuery and several third-party services including Matomo for analytics, POWr for widgets, Google Maps, and YouTube embeds. The site uses asynchronous script loading and CSS preloading for performance optimization. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly with basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data but could be enhanced with structured data (JSON-LD) which is absent. Hosting is provided by Jimdo GmbH. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking scripts detected. Technical debt appears low but reliance on third-party widgets requires ongoing maintenance to avoid security or performance issues.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
